Caliper Bracket Reinstallation and New Pad Installation

What happens here

First, remove the caliper mounting bracket from the vehicle by unbolting the two main bolts that hold it in place. Once the bracket is off, pop off the old metal clips (anti-rattle clips) and replace them with new ones provided with the new brake pads. Inspect the slide pins for rust or stiffness. If necessary, clean and re-grease them with brake grease, or replace them if they are seized. Mount the new rotor onto the wheel hub. Reattach the caliper mounting bracket to the vehicle, torquing the bolts to manufacturer specifications. Insert the new brake pads into the caliper mounting bracket, ensuring they slide freely. Apply a small amount of brake grease to the contact points where the pads touch the clips and the caliper.

Goal: Install the new rotor, reattach the caliper mounting bracket, and install new brake pads.
